Parassinikadavu Sree Muthappan Temple The Parassini Muthappan temple
is a prime pilgrimage center in North Kerala, situated in the district
of Kannur, 20 kms awayfrom Kannur town, is a quiet retreat. To have
the darshan of the powerful deity incarnate here, devotees throng
from different regions of India and world. Such is the fame and magnetism
this place has been attached to. The place is a well-known pilgrimage
centre offering solace to the needy, surrounded by green hills and
is stationed on the banks of a beautiful river away from the hustles
and bustles of ordinary life. It is a popillar belief that the God
Sree Muthappan will not let down those \\110 take refuge in him and
cannot stand betrayal. People from all walks of life come here and
get his blessings before venturing into any enterprise. Lord Muthappan
protects his devotees and come to their help whenever the faithful
are in danger. The prayers of devotees would be heard and answered
and there are thousands of people who testify this. The Lord has a
hunter's attire and carries with him a bow and arrow and has canines
as companions. There are devotees to Sree Muthappan from all religious
beliefs and backgrounds and the God is equally compassionate. Many
rituals are associated with the Temple and the Theyyam dance is one
in which, the Theyyam or dancer impersonates the God and speaks in
his language. It is believed this God-impersonate has the powers to
offer solutions to the problems faced by devotees and this is done
by verbally pronounced cures. The performances begin early in the
morning and devotees come this time and unburden their hearts and
tell their problems to the God. In the morning there are two Theyyams
or Thiru Roopams (sacred appearance), one representing Thiruvappan
and the other Vel/attom. The Madayan or chief priest designate receives
Roopam or images with Kalasam and music. After a courtesy talk with
the priest the Theyyam begins Thiru Nrithham or sacred dance performance
by observing all traditions. At the end of this the Theyyam becomes
fully possessed and transforms itself to the deity impersonating.
Later, the devotees are called one by one, listened to and predictive
cures are offered to their grievances.
